The North West Leicestershire MP shared an article by former Tory leader Lord Hague which said Mr Johnson has experienced a “greater level of rejection” than any of his predecessors and should quit. Asked if he thinks Mr Johnson should continue as Prime Minister, he said: “No, I’ve expressed my view very clearly. “There are a lot of hurdles ahead and I think a Prime Minister of honour would look at the figures, accept the fact that he has lost the support of a significant proportion of his party and consider his position, but I don’t think he’ll do that.” Former minister Tobias Ellwood, who has been calling for Mr Johnson to go since February, said he thinks Mr Johnson has only “a matter of months” left in his post and called for a Cabinet reshuffle. Asked how long he believes Mr Johnson will remain as Prime Minister, he said: “I think we’re talking a matter of months, up to party conference.” Senior Tory Philip Dunne, who also voted against Mr Johnson, said the leader still faces some “very choppy waters”.
